Lane splitting (sharing) interview

[r870621345s_imp]

If drivers signal before lane changes, and the motorcyclist is traveling at a speed that allows them to stop if needed, then splitting lanes can be done safely. However, that's sort of a best case scenario. One could argue that if drivers are attentive and don't tailgate, then there would be no danger of a motorcyclist being rear ended. I'm not really sure which is safer, but I feel that splitting lanes puts me in control, and I trust myself more than other drivers.
